BRS May Come Under Pressure From Muslims To Take A Stand Against UCC
Hyderabad, July 1 (Maxim News) Though ruling BRS headed by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is yet to take a clear stand against the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), In the past, the party had opposed any move to bring UCC. However, with its focus on achievements made during the last nine years. BRS may avoid taking a clear stand to deny BJP an opportunity to polarise the voters.
However, the BRS party may come under pressure from the Muslim community to speak out against UCC. The community has been backing the party led by KCR ever since the formation of Telangana in 2014.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), a key political force in the state and a friendly part of BRS and other Muslim political and socio-religious groups has been strongly opposing any move to bring UCC.
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has already slammed Prime Minister Modi over UCC, saying he considers the country’s diversity and pluralism to be a problem. Stating that the Right to Culture is a fundamental right, he dared the Prime Minister to abolish the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). “A tax rebate is given to only the Hindus under the HUF clause by the Income Tax department. Will the PM abolish this provision, he asked.
“Will you snatch away pluralism and diversity in the name of UCC? I challenge the PM, you have 300 MPs, abolish the Hindu Undivided Family. Go and tell the Sikhs in Punjab about UCC and see what their reactions are, “Owaisi said.
Hyderabad enjoys a special position in Muslim politics and is known for leading the community’s efforts for the protection of Muslim Personal Law. With the cream of the All Indian Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) coming from this historic city, it is likely to be at the center stage of the movement for safeguarding Muslim Personal Law.
Owaisi, who has already started campaigning for the Assembly elections by addressing public meetings in various parts of Telangana, is likely to use UCC as the key issue to launch a counterattack on the BJP. (Maxim News)
